Just want to say thank you to the lady who stood at the end of Hindmans Rd this evening when I was frantically searching for my runaway 4 year old. In the heat of the moment (being said son's return after legging it completely around the block - including running up Barry Rd) I did not get a chance to thank you for looking out for him.


The police have now visited him and given him a good talking to. Fingers crossed he won't do it again to "look at the cars"!

I did exactly the same at that age and it was a sort of bravado of showing off to my mother how fast I could run,


and then she taught me what the back of her hand felt like.


She was distraught, and furious at the possibility of being seen as an unfit mother.


I never did it again as I was fiercely against capital punishment when administered upon me.

Probably a good thing I didn't give him a hiding. The police turned up 10 minutes later although they knew he had returned. Apparently it is standard practice to follow up on missing children calls. The police man gave him a brilliant talking to!

      No hesitation in recommending Pavel and his excellent company. So glad we were able to have a slot in the schedule. Our move has been stressful in many ways so it was a huge relief to have the contents of our home dealt with by kind, responsive professionals.

      Advice wanted re my laptop 😭

      By Sue · Posted

      I have someone from Which Tech phoning on Monday afternoon. I couldn't get an earlier appointment. I am hoping that now there is a visible display, they will be able to get me online and then  remotely control the laptop and identify what went wrong and whether it is an ongoing fault or, if not, whether it is likely to recur. If they can't, or if they identify a hardware fault,  I will have to grit my teeth and let John Lewis's third party "repair" company take it away and deal with it 😭 I'm very grateful for your advice, but when I saw "Windows will restart automatically" my immediate reaction was to think "but suppose it doesn't" and "suppose the screen goes black again" which I know is very negative but I'd rather someone else was there when I did it, albeit on the end of the phone! Meanwhile, every cloud etc, as I have installed Word on my phone, which I didn't know was possible, and I have been editing and printing documents from there.  I haven't investigated whether I can do the same with Excel, but I will see what happens on Monday.

      Egyptian goslings in Peckham Rye park!

      By alice · Posted

      Just to the right of where the goslings were there’s a tree on the lake side of the fence where I like to watch the mother and baby rats. It was there today I saw a  dog. I was surprised by the nimble way this large dog jumped back over the fence.
